Artist Bio:
Isabella uses an intuitive approach following her natural instincts, which can take her work in unexpected directions. She works in a variety of media, including water media, inks, and collages. Her abstract paintings allow the viewer to overcome the brain’s natural desire to identify an object. They elicit a deeply emotional response and allow the viewer to glimpse inside the creative mind of the artist, while allowing a personal interpretation of the experience. As an experimental artist, her goal is to explore uncharted territory and take risks. This type of painting affords the art-lover a pure and unlimited adventure trip.
Isabella works with water media with the addition of gesso, inks, and the introduction of textured collage items to add interest and excitement. She uses avant-garde techniques and the innovative use of color and design.
Isabella is an Italian-born artist who began her training in Rome. She graduated from the Rome, Italy Art Institute, majoring in clay sculpture. She continued her education in the US training under 22 well-known painters and groundbreaking experimental artists, including John Salminen, Maryann Beckwith, and Pat Dews. She taught and joined the board at the International Society of Experimental Artists.
Artist Statement:
In my journey of self-discovery, I create a wide variety of art that transports the viewers into imaginary abstract worlds. I strive to continue learning, growing, and expanding as an experimental artist in search of originality, and I encourage those who view my work to join me on my journey.
